Chapter 12: Equity Agreement

The bodyguards breathed a slight sigh of relief when they saw Shi Youxuan return.

Losing the Eldest Young Mistress was a major matter; they had been scared to death just moments ago and hadn't dared to tell the Eldest Young Master at all.

But now they had to call the Eldest Young Master to report it; with the Second Young Master there with reporters, this matter simply could not be hidden!

Seeing that the person had returned, the police naturally released Shi Yucheng.

Jiang Yadan glared furiously at Shi Youxuan and raised her palm—"Slap!"

A heavy slap swung across: "Useless thing, you can't even keep a man, you waste." With her heart settled, she vented all her anger onto the fool.

She was used to doing this, but she hadn't expected an accident this time—she missed.

"Ouch!"

Jiang Yadan's slap didn't land on Shi Youxuan's face but struck the door frame instead, making her gasp in pain.

Shi Youxuan quickly covered her head and crouched down, a speed clearly practiced from being beaten often.

She gritted her teeth, hating her intensely: "You can even get lost halfway after being kicked back here, why don't you just go die?"

Sheng Family Old Master had called yesterday and scolded Shi Yucheng severely, and then her husband had vented his anger on her and her daughter.

Following that, Shi Youxuan was returned today and even got lost halfway; the reporters found out about the fool's substitute marriage, and her husband was almost taken away by the police as a fraudster...

She blamed all of this on Shi Youxuan!

After missing once, Jiang Yadan wanted to continue, but was reprimanded by her husband with a livid face: "Get inside! Do you think you haven't lost enough face today?" Jiang Yadan then stopped, looking embarrassed.

The police left, and the neighbors who were watching the commotion dispersed.

The reporters were still pestering Shi Youxuan with "interviews," preparing to dig up some valuable clues to send a heavy "congratulatory gift" to the Eldest Young Master.

"Miss Shi, may I ask where you have returned from?"

"Mrs. Sheng, how did the Eldest Young Master Sheng agree to marry you in the first place? Was it because he took a fancy to your beauty?"

The person asking this clearly had no good intentions.

Shi Youxuan still held her head with both hands, "frightened" and trembling, though no one could see her expression.

Sheng Yukai hid in the car to watch the spectacle.

The bodyguards drove the reporters away. Shi Yucheng was not stupid; the moment Sheng Yukai appeared, he knew what was going on, so he called Sheng Laoyezi and tactfully mentioned that the Second Young Master was causing trouble at the Shi residence with reporters.

Shi Yucheng had been a driver for the Old Master for ten years, so he knew a bit about Sheng Runruo's temper—for instance, he valued family harmony above all else and believed family scandals should not be made public.

The Old Master immediately called Sheng Yukai to scold him severely and used his influence to have all the reporters cleared away within minutes and all news regarding this matter deleted.

The Shi family living room.

Shi Youxuan was driven back to her room to bathe and change clothes, while the family of three discussed her future destination.

The bodyguards had brought Shi Youxuan back, but she had run off halfway; the Shi family naturally assumed that Sheng Hanyu wanted to "return the goods."

Jiang Yadan said to her husband: "It's fine that she was sent back, but the bride price must absolutely not be returned!"

"Mom, we absolutely cannot let her stay."

Shi Yuke pulled on her mother's hand, stomping her feet anxiously.

"Even if we don't return the bride price, what if they want to take back the Sheng Family shares? That is my future dowry; I don't want to give it back."

"I know, don't be anxious, let me think." Jiang Yadan was equally anxious now.

Because it was Shi Youxuan who married into the Sheng Family, the name on the equity agreement provided by the Sheng Family was also Shi Youxuan's.

However, it was currently in Shi Yuke's hands. She planned to forge a gift agreement after some time, then find an excuse to get the fool out and make her sign it to make it effective!

Without anyone knowing, the shares would become her own.

But before she could act, the fool was sent back; if the Sheng Family wanted the equity back, she would have no way to stop them.

Before Jiang Yadan could come up with a plan, Shi Yuke thought of another extremely important matter!

"Oh no, the fool coming back will affect my reputation; it will be hard for me to marry into the Jian Family in the future."

She received news yesterday that Second Young Master Jian, Jian Yining, was returning to the country soon, and the Jian Family was going to hold a cocktail party, inviting all the socialites of Jiangzhou.

It was said that Jian Yining didn't have a girlfriend yet!

The Second Young Master Jian was devastatingly handsome and possessed super-strong personal capabilities; while studying abroad, he had founded Tianma Company without using a single cent from his family.

Every investment made by Tianma Company was a huge profit, and Jian Yining was given a title by the industry—Golden Finger.

Shi Yuke was determined to have Jian Yining and was also drooling over the Sheng Family's shares; no matter which one it was, she would never allow the fool to be returned at such a critical moment.

After hearing her daughter's concerns, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Jiang Yadan's eyes, and she made up her mind: "Don't worry, Yuke. Even if the fool dies, she must die in the Sheng Family. I will definitely send her back."

"Mom, you are so good to me!" Shi Yuke threw herself into her mother's arms to act spoiled.

Jiang Yadan looked at her daughter with doting eyes, thinking she was perfect in every way. She gently stroked her daughter's long hair and chided: "Silly girl, you are my own flesh and blood; if I'm not good to you, who would I be good to?"

Inside the room, the mother and daughter were deeply affectionate; neither of them noticed that Shi Yucheng's expression had turned very ugly, nor did they discover that Shi Youxuan, having finished her bath, was hiding behind a pillar and sneering.
